A US drone attack has killed at least four militants in a restive northwestern Pakistani tribal area on the Afghan border, officials said on Thursday, taking the toll from a flurry of strikes this week to 25.
The drone attack took place at Laman village in North Waziristan where the Pakistani military has been waging a major offensive since June.
‘A US drone fired two missiles at a vehicle and killed at least four militants and one was wounded,’ a senior security official told AFP.
The official said that the drone strike took place before midnight and added that there were ‘foreigners’ among those killed. A local government official confirmed the casualties.
